This is one of my favorite foods! Could you somehow bake the balls instead of frying them?

You can try heating them in the oven, but they will turn out different.

Hi,i’m not a fan for frying,can i make these in the oven,thank you

Yes, you can try baking these, but the taste and texture will change. Since there is no meat in these, you can also try them raw.

How long can you keep this, before you make the final balls, in the refrigerator?

Having a hard time blending this due to dry ingredients!

This falafel is amazing! I have made it twice this week. I normally would bake it, since I don’t love frying things, but I decided to pan fry them in a small amount of olive oil. It is delicious! I highly recommend this fantastic recipe!

Didn’t work in my blendtec. Everything is jammed in the bottom. Had to use another mixer. It is also too salty. I was very disappointed.

Having trouble blending this receipt due to the dry ingredients, any suggestions?

Sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work for you. You could trying steaming the carrots for a bit so they are softer.

Be sure you are scraping the sides to keep everything in the middle, close to the blade. You could also try steaming the carrots for a little bit, just so they are a little softer.

Love fresh new ideas!! This one is a keeper!

Yes, the balls can be frozen and fried later, though we recommend thawing the balls first before putting them in the hot oil.

What non-gluten, low carb flour can you substitute for all purpose flour?

If you do not care for normal olive oil I would recommend using avocado oil – don’t be afraid of a bit of avocado oil as it has good fats your body needs.

Hi. I’m new to Blendtec blending (finally upgraded from my $20 blender, so excited!) so please understand if this a dopey question. But if the recipe does not say to chop a veggie, that means I can just put it in whole? Whole garlic clove, whole 1/4 onion, etc?Thanks!

You could try almond flour!

Blendtec on September 28, 2015

Yes, that’s correct! We’ll say in the recipe whether or not it should be quartered, etc. Welcome to the family and happy blending!!
